    Because he's coming off of a huge loss and is looking to rebuild and keep his fanbase believing in him. His fanbase is Mexican. Beating a Puerto Rican is a good way to get them on his side again.

    Also, a loss would all-but-ruin his career. Mosley and Martinez both stop him at this point. With Cotto, he has a chance to really win a fight in impressive fashion and it's probably more money than a Martinez fight. Certainly then a Mosley fight.

    Makes sense. I don't really want to see him fight. He loses to all the best fighters and could lose to the A-/B+ crowd as well around his weight.

      why would he want to fight Mosley again???
      He lost that one clearly and a rematch will not be competitive. Moreover, this fight is not very rewarding.

      Meanwhile, a Cotto rematch is going to give him $$$$. A lot of boxing fans are waiting for this fight to happen including myself. We anticipate a classic fight between these two warriors to settle unfinished business. Of course, Marg is so keen about this fight.

      Sergio lost to Margarito. The last time I heard it is the loser that normally wants a rematch, not the other way around. Margarito expressed his willingness to give Sergio the chance to redeem that lost. Serg is not willing to fight Marg. He said that himself. I hope this fight can also be made. I want to see how sergio with his new "boxing skills" handles a marauding opponent.

        Because he would make more fighting Cotto than fighting Mosley and Martinez combined. And Mosley after he gets KTFO by Pacquiao will not have won a fight in almost 3 years. And Martinez is scared to fight Margarito he said so himself.

          So who is telling the truth now? The TS says Margarito is not so keen in having a rematch with Martinez, while you and others say Martinez is not interested. Why do people make things up?

            Money, redemption and you can bet that in his head, cheating or not, Margarito thinks he has Cotto's number. The problem is Margarito has taken a series of rough fights now and has defnitely looked to be slowing down. He has looked vulnerable to the body and has to worry about his eye, if only it was the left eye. Against Cotto he will likely take a lot of damage to that eye. This should be a great fight.

              no Martinez has called Margarito out many times, its just right now Margarito isn't that attractive a fight for Martinez.

                Wrong and right. After the loss to Williams and the Pavlik win, Sergio called out Margarito, but Margarito declined to fight Martinez. There are countless articles quoting this so linking one would be pointless. At this point, it would make no sense for Martinez to fight Margarito which is why he wants to move on. Margarito no longer holds any weight.

                  So when he says he isnt interested in the rematch because Margarito would be an easy night for him, thats him admitting hes scared? You guys are hilarious.
                  Martinez stops Tony at this point with ease. Tony has few, if any, big performances left in him.
